Nature is said to invite us to the table through appetite and reward us with taste. But what exactly is taste? Why do we like some tastes and others not? "The Origin of Taste" is a fascinating dive into the rich thick of these questions.
Generously sweetening the narrative with sincerity and wit, the authors tell how the search for pleasant tastes turned out to be the secret ingredient of all human history.
You will learn about the role of taste preferences in the creation of the first tools and the extinction of giant mammals, the evolution of the most appetizing and nutritious fruits and the formation of our sociality. And for dessert you will be offered the best way to leave a mastodon, a story about the connection of cheese with Paleolithic art – and much more.
Panning the skill of presentation with the latest scientific data, the authors of the book serve the reader the history of our relationship with food.
